Fascinating blog by Posnanski. Looks at whether the #1 seeds performance in the first round affects the rest of their tournament. 1 seeds that win their first round game by less than 20 points definitely have less success getting to the Final Four and winning than teams that win by over 20 points.

Even further, only 13 #1 seeds have won their first round game by less than 10 points. Only three of those reached the Final Four. None won the national title. Gonzaga and Kansas are teams 14 and 15. We'll see how they do.
Well, there's one down. One to go.
